Malware Protection

June 12, 2013 by Support Staff

Tierra Hosting is proud to announce that we now offer Malware Protection for our clients and their websites.

Malware refers to just about anything bad an attacker can do if they
gain access to your website. Usually it happens if there is a security
bug in the script that is powering your website (such as WordPress,
Magento or Joomla) or in a supporting plugin, add-on, module, or theme.

Once an attacker has access to your website they use this as a launch point to do things like:

Place extra, malicious code into your website to infect your visitors’ computers with viruses and desktop-malware.

Display unauthorized advertisements to your visitors

Send spam and phishing emails through your hosting account

Upload fake webpages to your account, and attempt to get people to
visit them and steal their information (e.g. a fake bank website)
through phishing emails

Other bad things.

Symptoms

There are several ways to tell if your website has been infected with malware:

You receive a warning when visiting your website because it has been
blacklisted by a malware detection service which often partner with web
browser development companies (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Safari,
Opera)

Much more.

Tierra Hosting Malware Protection helps prevent any of the above issues from
occurring by proactively scanning your website, fixing any discovered
problems, and alerting you to any issues before your end users begin to
notice them.

The price for scanning/protection is available for a special price of $54.99 per website.

For example:

www.yourdomain.com

forum.yourdomain.com

This counts as two (2) websites and are paid for individually.

If you are interested in obtaining the confidence in knowing that your website is being monitored, and protected, simply submit a ticket for more information.
